Environment

Media Server - Solaris - test_media

NB_7.5.0.1

Decommissioned Media Server - HPUX - test_media

NB_6.x

/staging

Cause

The issue was caused by EMM entries for a media server that was improperly decommissioned 3 years ago. There were EMM entries in the following tables:

720 - EMM_Machine
721 - EMM_MachineAlias
732 - EMM_StorageUnit_60
733 - EMM_StorageUnitGroup_60
734 - EMM_StorageUnit_STUGroup_60
843 - DBM_DeletedImageFragment

Solution

The 843 table will list the disk pool that the problem fragments are assigned too. Once you have the disk pool name you can run the nbdelete command to remove the table entries in the 843 table. Open a command prompt and cd to the /usr/openv/netbackup/bin/admincmd directory and run:

nbdelete -purge_deletion_list -media_id <DSSU Media ID> -force

In this case this was the command that deleted the table entries:

./nbdelete -purge_deletion_list -media_id /staging01 -force

After the 843 table entries are deleted you will be able to remove the problem media server with the nbemmcmd -deletehost command. Then the image cleanup jobs should run properly.
